The complexities involved in running a community club or organisation are growing and the role of the volunteer administrator is both challenging and demanding.
The Club Resource Kit has been designed to help answer some of the more common questions and provide administrators with basic information about a range of topics. The Kit cannot answer every question but importantly it provides links to find further information. The Club Resource Kit is intended to be an easy to understand manual, used as a living working document.
The Grounds Hire
section provides links to relevant information if you are seeking to hire or lease a sporting ground or reserve.
Playing on the MCG or Skilled Stadium is every clubs dream and Council's aim is to maintain grounds, within budget limitations, for the benefit of the whole community. Tips for keeping grounds in good condition
provides clubs with information about how to help maintain ground conditions and hopefully prevent ground deterioration or ground closure.
